'There's a big difference between primates and humans...'
Dr. Felix Babineau
As I said on the previous page, season 2 was probably my least favorite season of Mr. Mercedes. The desire to extend the life of the Mercedes killer, took the series into a different direction. One of the things I love most about the show is how character driven it it. Season 2 was more plot focused, and a rather convoluted plot at that.
I did enjoy season 2, just not as much as I liked season 1 and 3. Season 2 did have some highlights, including the addition of actor Jack Huston as Dr. Felix Babineau. With Brady, the Mercedes killer, in a coma, Dr. Babineau and his wife Tessa, try to bring him back to consciousness. Tessa is a corrupt head of marketing at a major pharmaceutical corporation, trying to make a pay day by pumping Brady with experimental drugs.
Dr. Babineau gives a little butt peak in Mr. Mercedes, but actor Jack Huston has had nude scenes in several films including Earthquake Bird and The Garden of Eden. As soon as the actor appeared on-screen in Mr. Mercedes, I was instantly intrigued. I don't remember seeing Huston on screen before, but he's been working steadily in the business for the last 20 years. Some of his notable roles on television include appearances in Fargo, Eastwick and Boardwalk Empire.
